Semlith Files

The portal, opened beside the design it was built from

0.26.0 shipped the v4 design's structure — its tokens, its thirteen pages, its two nav groups — but the result was never driven end to end in a browser against the reference file. This release is that pass. Every page was opened in a real browser at seven widths in both themes, every control on every page was clicked, and what follows is what that found.

The first-run screen is complete. It now carries the version beside the mark, all four of the design's steps rather than three, the sentence that says queries are recorded to a local file in that store and never leave the machine, and a way to adopt a store that already exists — on the one screen whose whole job is getting a first store open. Its footer names the address and the port actually bound, because "loopback only" is a claim the reader cannot check without the port. "Skip for now" lands on Stores, which is the page it is skipping ahead to, rather than on About.

The menu is four groups again. v3 grouped the pages Workspace, Explore, Operate and Account; v4 flattened that to two groups of six and seven, which is one long list with two headings in it rather than a menu. The thirteen pages are unchanged and so is their order within each group — what came back is the grouping, with Explore holding the three pages you ask questions of and Machine holding the two that describe what you are running, in place of v3's Account and the licence page a free binary does not have. The Impact and Retrieval ledger marks are v3's too.

The routes the design draws between pages are there. "See what is actually inside the index", at the foot of the Stores table, which is the question that table raises and never answered. "Build a report", in the Retrieval ledger's header. "Chunks it lives in", beside "Blast radius" on the Graph rail, so reading the text of a selected symbol no longer means retyping its name into Search. And "Replay first-run screen" under the daemon card: without it, that screen was reachable only by emptying the registry.

The Graph page's right column was painting over itself. The Map's own height — one row per community — shrank the selection rail above it to a few pixels in the flex column, and the rail overflows visibly by design, so a selected symbol, its callers and its callees rendered straight over the map underneath, with the rail's buttons stranded at the bottom of the page.

Reports is the page the design draws. One picker of five reports, a builder for the one chosen, and the preview it produced, with Copy and Export on the preview's own bar. It was five cards each carrying its own Generate and its own row of four format buttons — twenty-five controls for five reports, above a preview that could have been about any of them.

--model opus_5 priced at Sonnet 5 and said so. The report generator matched a model by its display name only and fell back to the first price on no match, so a slug was accepted, ignored, and the resulting figure in money was labelled with the wrong model. Model names now resolve however they are punctuated, and a name this binary does not price is refused by semlith report and by /api/report with the three that would have worked.

The browser's own paragraph margin was a second spacing system. Blocks written as a <p> carried 13px above and below on top of whatever gap their card already set, and blocks written as a <div> carried none — so the same note sat differently on two cards for no reason anybody had chosen.

Also: the About page states which MCP revisions this binary speaks and the licence it ships under, and its 46-language table is full width under the two columns rather than inside one, which was cutting the model table beside it off mid-row; the daemon card says whether the ledger is recording; Impact lays its answer beside the path finder and Trace rather than stacked a metre wide; the Cloud page is held to the design's measure and its reasons are a title over an explanation; Privacy carries the fifth verification step, the one that reads the ledger as what it is — a table in a file on this disk; the cards on Inside the index are as tall as what they hold; a store's roots on a phone are truncated from the front rather than broken into eight-character pieces down the cell; a page header on a phone puts its buttons after the sentence that says what the page is, not between it and the title; and the Stores strip says "read by 1 reader".

Documented

docs/portal.md gains the three pages 0.26.0 added and never documented — Impact, Reports and Cloud — and its page order, its navigation table and two headings now match what the sidebar says.

Gated

tests/drive gains a 6.x block: the first-run screen's contents, each of the three new routes, the About facts, the daemon card, the Reports picker and preview, and two sweeps that had no gate before — every page at seven widths with no horizontal scroll, and every page read for console errors.

Nothing in the retrieval path, the index writer or the graph extractor changed, and the 0.25.0 figures reproduce.
